There are plenty of platform out there that attempt this. Having tried many, and even having been involved in building frameworks to cover multiple devices I don't recommend any of them unless you are doing really trivial applications or you are in a position to negotiate enterprise level support with the provider. A framework is no use to you unless there is someone there to jump in and fix the issues you are bound to have with it.
What you can do is to write pretty general code across the various Java environments (Android, Symbian, Blackberry). Bearing in mind that even for each of these platform the API's vary from one generation to another. You can then take this general code and hook it up to the UI / threading model associated with ever platform / generation. If you're going for games the most general thing you can do is to pick the lowest supported OpenGL revision for your render loops. Then at least porting this code between the platforms becomes pretty easy. But as always I recommend starting small on one platform that you can easily support, and expanding outwards from there.
